[QUOTE="JD8, post: 17974, member: 24"] Not trying to be tricky by any means..... and why is it a game or trick if I address comments seperately? You keep saying that there was no "gospel" in this thread but I've highlighted the original blanket statement very clearly. I believe it's intentional meaning leaves no room for error. It is rare to see a malfunction with a Glock... I agree. However, I say it's also rare to see one with a H&K, Sig, and SOME 1911s (certain companies I won't speak for) and let me include CZs in the mix. This is my oriiginal point, nothing more, nothing less. The emphasis shifted towards 1911s after the 1911 stabs were thrown in. Ok so you've stated your experiences with 1911s, what about other makes? Didn't your comments about Sigs rival what was said? Or will a Glock ALWAYS jam less than a Sig? Glocks greatly outnumber 1911s so there are more chances for possibility of failure? Sure ok.... what are the numbers? Since we are considering the laws of chance here might I ask you a few outside the box questions? How many companies make 1911 copies? How many more variables would that add to the equation of having a less than par product. Sig's decision to make a GSR for instance, it was hurried, and poorly planned. They thought they could just buy parts from other manufacterers and throw them together and put their name on it and BAM.. we've got a great 1911. Didn't work out that way. Sig admitted as such and shut down the line due to too many problems. They've regrouped so to speak and are re-releasing GSRs. Only one example of many. My experiences are very limited aswell relative to the entire handgun scene, to think otherwise would pretty egocentric IMO. Point is, that there are just too many good manufacturers out there to make sweeping and blanket statements like the one that was made, especially since there are facts that prove otherwise, and while someone may have put 100,000 rounds downrange in the last year, it doesn't make up for a comprehensive understanding for the entire handgun scene in terms of reliability.
